Hey, look at all this help I got harvesting the lavender this year.

Cream Daffodil
Another digital painting, cursing the fatness of my finger tip. It’s like drawing with mittens on. I have a stylus around here somewhere, that I ought to dig up.
All Alone
Page 3 of my comic, no dialogue, but a super bendy worm provides some narration.
The comic page is presented here in png format, but over on the comic site, Emma and the Granny Fairies, it’s an SVG.
Flowers for Betty
Some flowers for Nana Betty. I cut them from the pots on the patio and we brought them out to the graveyard during the week.
Calla Lily in Pixels
The Quilting Bee is running another garden based activity this spring, and this is my entry, a calla lily. Mum would grow these in the garden when I was growing up, and I always thought they were so elegant and beautiful…
Last summer she gave me a potted marigold to put on my windowsill, and it bloomed all autumn and then died away. I never bothered to move the pot with the dead marigold all winter, and in the spring I was surprised to see a little calla seedling popping it’s head up! It smuggled aboard in the marigold pot!
Hopefully, I can take good care of it, and one day grow some beautiful calla lilies of my own.
Borage; rhymes with Porridge
Or possibly rhymes with mirage? There seem to be mixed ideas about the pronunciation. Anyway, I grew some borage plants from seeds and planted it out, where it promptly took over everything in sight. My sister complained that it was blocking the light coming into the house, so I’ve had to cut it back.
First Butterfly of Spring
Saw the first butterfly of the season in my tiny urban garden the other day. I was super chuffed. Hopefully it’ll come back when the cherry tomatoes are ready to be pollinated.
Elephant with a Flower
I miss doing a drawing every day. So I’m going to take it up again. That said, here is an elephant with a flower.
Work Colleagues Regrettably Secure in their Masculinity
I had this cunning plan to stop the guys at work robbing my mug. I brought in the girliest mug I could find, with a big pink camellia on it.
Unfortunately, it had zero effect. It got borrowed the very next day.
Daffodil
Daffodil will be right back after this power snooze.
